Ports forwarded, still got connection problems

[Flynn]

Hi, this seems to be a problem in multiplayer games, it won't show all the players in the lobby. For instance, from the client I can see 6/6 players but in the lobby I can only see 4. I get told that I need to fix my con, but there is nothing to fix! All my ports are forwarded! I am using UDP port 7001 for inbound and outbound which is set to allow traffic. Here is my IP config data:

Any ideas?

In the logs, you should see "port used : xxxx".

If it's not 7001, you are not forwarding correctly.

[Flynn]

I can't find the words "port used" in the server log at all. This is just the text in the "server" tab, next to aoelus, right?

[Ze_PilOt]

In the logs. Read the wiki, it's explained.

[Flynn]

Yes it does say that in the logs, but it won't let me post the whole log as it is too big, what next?

[Ze_PilOt]

But does it say it's using the port you have set in the FAF lobby (7001 in your case) ?

[Flynn]

Yes:

Code: Select all

2013-05-11 18:21:11,233 INFO     faf.client           port used : 7001

[Ze_PilOt]

So no problem with your port forwarding.
If there is a problem, it's either with a firewall, or it's just someone else fault.

[Flynn]

I have FA allowed on Windows firewall and my Avast firewall is not active.

[Ze_PilOt]

So it's probably not on your side.
